I broke into a new tea I have stored for a year or so… as it was ordered to my address by White Antlers, but I had other oolongs to drink and opened. Ass the packages are non-resealable, I was finishing opened ones first.
It seems I got pretty much same package as derk have. May 2020 harvest.
Prepared western today, which is kind of heresy for oolong, but whatever.
It has got a very nice aromas, I noticed mostly woody cinnamon, roasted pears, roasted generally. I liked it and just for aroma it is a winner. However…
taste was nice. But something was lacking, maybe some depth. It was really subtle in flavours, though it was complex. I have noticed again some woodiness, lightly fruity, autumn leaves (thanks derk, I know the flavour, but couldn’t point on it) and some sweet, like maple syrup aftertaste.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Cinnamon, Fruity, Maple Syrup, Pear, Roasted, Wood
